From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Installed part of my Burger Tuning "power pack". Just the intakes so far. Gotta have a day to tackle the plugs, tuner and OCC.
 
Yesterday got the winter rims taken off and stored. Gonna miss the look of the black rims on the black car, but in time I'll probably replace the stock ones.

You can always go with the Big Boys, and powder coat your OE wheels black, that way you'll enjoy "the black look" year-round.:D

Did you do the mirror caps yourself? Any trouble in popping the mirror?
Yes, i have done all the work myself.

So for the mirror caps, u have to remove the mirror/glass part. I used a plastic pry tool and u go around the mirror popping it out a bit at a time. You can give it a little force just not too much. Once its popped out, there are 2 screws holding it on u need to remove, then it pops off.

Little tip, have the driver window rolled down, and hang a towel over the door incase when the mirror pops off it doesnt swing down and wack the door. Almost happened to me but caught it just in time lol. There is a video floating around if i can find it ill repost and link it

Pains me to see such a beautiful car cheapened like a 20-yr-old civic..
 
@MerlintheMad Yeah, I've considered that. Would definitely be cheaper than buying all new rims. How durable is it? Will it start to chip away at some point making it just a better investment to buy new rims?
Chipping/peeling would be dip. Powder coating is very durable. The one negative to gloss black is that swirl occurs over time; it's inescapable. I asked my wheel restoring guys what it would cost to return them to glossy black (sans swirls, in other words), and they said it's cheaper to just do the powder coat fresh. Hmm! I may try and hand polish the swirls, just to see if it's that hard to polish them out. If it's a pain, I'll just live with the swirls until I spring for another powder coat.
